The investigations refer to the development of plant phenology since the 1960s in Germany. Spatiotemporal trends were assessed by means of regression kriging. It could be shown that there already is a distinct shift of phenological onset towards the beginning of the year of up to two weeks. In future, a shift of up to one month was calculated till 2080. Moreover, a prolongation of the vegetation period of up to three weeks was found. The findings are relevant for the development of mitigation measures to prevent from environmental, agricultural and economic issues due to climate change.

List of contents

About the author

Dr. Gunther Schmidt gilt international als einer der maßgeblichen Pioniere in der Entwicklung einer Integration systemischer (auch familientherapeutischer) Modelle und der kompetenzfokussierenden Konzepte Erickson'scher Hypnotherapie zu einem ganzheitlich-lösungsfokussierenden Konzept für Beratung und Psychotherapie. Im deutschsprachigen Raum begründete er mit seinen, durch Milton Erickson angeregten Beiträgen die 'lösungsorientierte Wende' in der systemischen Familientherapie ebenso wie den Aufbau kompetenz- und lösungsorientierter Kurzzeittherapie im Bereich z.B. von Suchtproblemen, Psychosomatik und der Therapie von massiv traumatisierten Menschen. Die von ihm entwickelten systemisch- hypnotherapeutischen Modelle für Organisationsberatung, Team- und Gruppenarbeit und Coaching tragen wesentlich zu einem intensivierten ressourcenorientierten Beratungsverständnis bei. 2011 wurde Schmidt für sein Lebenswerk mit dem Life Achivement Award ausgezeichnet.
